Ok so I feel pretty confident about writing something useful here, which means this is likely to come out as a large turd full of Alphabits, but here goes...
I've always had what I would consider "normal" cell phones in the past (i.e. - no iphone, bb or whatever else).
In December I got an ipod-touch as a gift and it has kind of changed my life. Checking my email or the latest headlines while I'm in bed or on the shitter has really been nice. Not to mention all of the cool apps. I use the ipod-touch more than I ever thought I would. It's mostly just around the house, but it makes me want an iphone so that I can have these same services on the go.
Flash forward to 2 weeks ago. My cellphone broke and I needed a new one asap. I knew I wanted to stick with verizon because I get a discount with them, but I was ready to step it up to something with web, email, etc..
I got a blackbberry curve and hated it. The trackball didn't feel right after getting used to a touch screen, and the overall interface was poorly designed IMO. Not to mention the web browser was utter shite compared to iphone's safari.
So I returned it and got the touch-screen BB Storm. It's basically the imitation iphone from Verizon. So far it's been acceptable, but it's no iphone. It can do everything I need it to do, and the web browser is pretty good, but it definitely falls short of the iphone. But to put it in context, if I had never gotten used to the ipod-touch, I would probably be thinking the BB Storm was amazing. To me it's worth sticking with the Storm and Verizon because I'd be paying an extra $30 or so per month to be on ATT with the iphone.
- I had a similar dilemma. I stayed with Verizon and picked up the new HTC Ozone. Very happy so far and it's only $49 with a contract.bengerman
